Best Time to Visit

Although there is never a terrible time to visit Vegas, be aware that daytime highs in the summertime can soar into the 90s and 100s, which may put you off unless you want to spend time by the pool or in an air-conditioned casino.

However, the best months to visit Las Vegas, in terms of weather, are March, April, May, October and November. August, the hottest month in Las Vegas, is also one of the more affordable months to visit in terms of flights and hotels.

Many conventions and festivals occur all year round, so keep that in mind when traveling to Las Vegas. The Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey season runs from October to April, with playoffs in May and occasionally into June. The big tech conference in January is the most important event to watch.
